Awards eligibility time! 16 stories published for the first time this year, and I'd really like to encourage people to check out my novella, "The Carrying Capacity of Paradise," if you have time!

Book mail day! I love getting to see my name on the covers. . . and the stories inside are going to be FUN.

While this is far more of a wish, a dream, or a poem, I hope that Augur takes it in the spirit it's intended. <3

As we hit the 3/4 mark of a very, very long year, I thought I'd celebrate a bit with the stuff I've managed to bring into the world this year.

Realized that I've accomplished a fair bit so far this year, but there's a lot more to do yet!

Coming soon! Dirty Magick is, like most other magazine, looking for subscribers.

My story in this one will be urban fantasy, and I hope you enjoy it!

The last piece of art from Jay for the book! This is a Collector. You definitely don't want to meet one in a dark alley. But if you do. . . you probably won't remember the experience.

Probably.

These guys, the "Eye See You" Things, are telepathic and can rip memories out of you from a distance with their terrifying stare. . .

Perhaps the most horrifying of the Things, this guy can send its mouth to burrow into a body and infest it from the inside, taking over the role of a person before bursting forth from the ruined remains in its adult form to begin the cycle anew. . . .
